Normal sudoku rules apply.
Standard rules for renban, nabner, German whispers, and region sum lines apply. [The color palette used here was designed by Sandra to be more colorblind friendly. Please let me know if it helps! Color descriptions are at the link.]
There are no negative constraints of any kind.
Renban Lines: The purple line in the grid is a Renban line. Digits on a renban form a set of non-repeating, consecutive digits in any order.
Nabner Lines: Digits do not repeat along gold nabner lines. Additionally, no pair of digits anywhere on a nabner line can be consecutive.
German Whispers: Along green lines, adjacent digits must differ by at least 5.
Region Sum Lines: Blue lines in the grid are Region Sum Lines. The sum of digits on the line is the same within each box.

Beautiful, creative break-in, and consistently hard-but-not-too-hard from there to the finish. Overall a nice demonstration of some interesting relationships between different constraints.

Such a smooth flow, and I absolutely loved the break in. 10/10

Enjoyed this one. Tough but flows nicely once you see the break in. Thank you.

Thank you! You made me work for it, but all the steps built on each other. I really liked the way everything connected, and the logic was there waiting for me to earn it!

Mostly a nice smooth solve, altho the final disambiguation had me tearing my hair out!!

Awesome puzzle! Very clever break-in followed by some great interactions throughout the solve. :)
